Light Tale Lamp

Inspired by a range of shapes and structures, but most notably by a type of windmill, Light Tale is a floor lamp where a sense of balance and good proportion work together to create functionality.

The geometric shape of the lampshade tames and gives a sense of touch to the light, which is otherwise an indeterminate element. It works mostly in the same way that the windmill harnesses the wind to turn it into energy, only this time the energy is turned into light.

The tail behind the lampshade provides comfort and ease in directing the light source to the desired location. Just as the tail of the windmill follows the wind, so the lamp follows the user. The shade provides a cone of light suitable for reading or writing, but it can only be used to create a warm ambience in the room. The contrast between shadow and light is well defined due to the opening and shape of the shadow.
